Wine and Wickets

We arrived in Highlands early yesterday evening, for the first time since we left last October.  We'll only be here for a few days. We have appointments at Emory early Tuesday, and will return to Valdosta after that.  When we come back to the mountains in early June, our summer officially starts.

We DID get here for the first day of "Wine and Wickets" though.  Croquet has become a big thing at Highlands Country Club, convening every Tuesday and Thursday, from late spring to early autumn.  As Jimmy describes it, "You get to wear a costume, you get to drink while you're playing, and you're fed dinner afterwards."  He didn't include the fact that you can also be at home asleep by 9 o'clock, which is a biggie with our older membership!

The wine part...
